Chapter 1214 - 29: Und
"Two, fewer than expected."
Su Xiao’s expression was very calm, the Dragon Slash in its sheath appeared in his hand, and he still sat by the pool.
A Mu and Bubu Wang appeared behind Su Xiao at some unknown time.
"Bubu, you and A Mu are responsible for the undead on the left, just hold them off."
Although Su Xiao knew the Undead Clan would come to save people or silence them, he did not seek help from the Royal Family. If the Royal Family intervened in tonight’s battle, the aftermath would be troublesome, particularly the issue of Ilde’s custody.
Su Xiao is now solely in charge of this matter. Even if the Old King wanted to intervene, he couldn’t ignore Su Xiao’s stance entirely. The Old King still needs Su Xiao to investigate the murder of the Little Princess or to delay enough time to elect a new king.
A Mu stepped towards the undead on the left; this undead posed less of a threat to Su Xiao. Although A Mu couldn’t kill the enemy, it could certainly hold him off.
A Mu’s physical attributes are as high as 85, plus its traits from the Winter Bloodline (Passive Lv.30), making it difficult for the enemy to kill it.
Skill 5: Winter Bloodline (Passive Lv.30): Reduces damage taken by 25%, Deceleration Resistance +70%, Physical Defense +36, Life Value +1000 points, Mana Value +300 points.
...
"Moo!!"
A Mu roared, the horns emitting cold aimed at the distant enemy as he charged faster and faster.
Boom!
A Mu smashed a section of the courtyard wall to pieces, stones flying, and on the wall, the undead leapt up. His speed wasn’t fast, but his footfall was steady.
As stones splashed, the undead landed in the courtyard, holding a wide-bladed dagger with arcs flashing over it, looking impressive.
A Mu didn’t care whether the enemy’s weapon bore lightning; he spread his large hands wide, exposing his chest to the enemy.
The undead holding the wide-bladed dagger was startled, seemingly unused to facing such a reckless foe as A Mu. Nonetheless, he swung his dagger towards A Mu’s chest.
Slash!
Blood splattered, the wide-bladed dagger cutting into A Mu’s chest, but the muscle layer on A Mu’s chest resisted the cleave.
A Mu’s muscles bulged, pinning the wide-bladed dagger within his flesh.
ZZZZ~
Arcs spread from the dagger, and A Mu’s body started to tremble. The undead’s lips beneath his hood curled into a cruel smile.
But in the next moment, the undead’s smile froze. He felt something biting his lower back, a sharp pain surging through him. Beyond the injury, he desperately wanted to know when the enemy had circled behind him. He hadn’t noticed at all earlier, and realizing this, cold sweat dripped from his temples.
The undead instinctively kicked backward, issuing a wail as a black-and-white figure was kicked away, landing in the distance.
In the next moment, the alchemy array in A Mu’s pupils flashed, and Bubu Wang took control of A Mu’s body.
’A Mu’ stared at the undead, his eyes seeming to say, "That kick just now... felt good, didn’t it?"
A Mu lunged forward; the undead kicked A Mu in the stomach, using the force to lean back while pulling the dagger from A Mu’s torso.
In the midst of lunging, A Mu’s alchemy array flashed once more, regaining control from his own consciousness.
The undead had just leapt back a few meters when he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him, a faint, indistinct presence emerging.
Needless to say, this faint presence was Bubu Wang. If it fully concealed its presence or revealed it completely, it wouldn’t be as terrifying as this fluctuating aura; the enemy couldn’t gauge its strength.
Bubu Wang was using intimidation. In such a life-and-death battle, the enemy couldn’t dare ignore its existence.
Sure enough, the undead leaping backward gripped his dagger tightly, a chain sprung from the end, piercing the ground and pulling him down from midair.
Having achieved his aim, Bubu Wang turned and scampered away, while A Mu lunged at the undead, punching down with fists larger than sandbags.
Bang!
A cold aura spread. Though the undead wielding the wide-bladed dagger blocked A Mu’s blow, fine ice crystals formed on him, the frost effect visibly slowing his speed.
Once ensnared by the frost effect, shaking off A Mu became difficult unless a severe injury incapacitated him briefly.
A Mu was incredibly resilient, and due to their high compatibility, Bubu Wang’s Ice and Snow Goddess’ Aura doubled his recovery rate, offering 2 life points per second, totaling 120 life points a minute. Combined with A Mu’s own recovery power, its survival prowess was bewildering.
Furthermore, if engaged in grappling with A Mu, one risked getting hit several times. A Mu’s Ability of Frost (Passive Lv.39) imbued his close combat attacks with a frost effect, stacking layers to prolong the duration finally reaching an astounding 25 minutes and 36 seconds.
A Mu resembled indestructible gum, unable to be killed or shaken off easily. However, he wasn’t perfect, as his attack ability was embarrassingly weak.
Su Xiao didn’t require A Mu to kill; he just needed A Mu to stall the enemy, which A Mu accomplished perfectly.
Instead of concerning himself with the dagger-wielding undead, Su Xiao focused on another undead, the one with a raspy voice.
The Eye of the Apostle hovered beside Su Xiao as information about this undead appeared quickly, causing Su Xiao’s pupils to contract slightly. A realization dawned on him; if he didn’t use that ability today, death was certain.

...
Seeing the name Dunk Nik, Su Xiao realized his prior conjecture was correct; Ilde’s mentor was indeed Dunk Nik.
Contrary to Su Xiao’s expectations, the summoned old guy was absurdly powerful.
Dunk Nik remained standing atop the wall, unmoving, as he sensed a peculiar aura from Su Xiao, one both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Are you... an Annihilator?"
Dunk Nik gazed at Su Xiao with astonishment, his eyes quickly transforming into a chillingly intense hostility, the kind past hate altogether, seeking to crush Su Xiao wholly.
No doubt, the Undead Clan had a grudge against the Shadow of Annihilation Law, or more accurately, they lacked the eligibility to become enemies; they were but unilateral victims. As for what the Shadow of Annihilation Law did to them, it remains unknown.
